About the course

The purpose of this workshop is to enable you as an educator to make use of the basic tools in your toolkit, from a hammer to break the ice, to the rule of three and finally to the light bulb when you inspire the uninspired to learn.

As a group we will workshop your tools so that you can go back to the workplace and apply what you have learned to your practice without the need for safety equipment and a hard hat.

This workshop, ‘The Clinical Education Toolkit’ is conducted over 1 day and is equivalent to 7 continuing professional development (CPD) hours.
